Chapter 72
After getting Chen Jinhua's approval, Bai Xiu Xiu went back to the room with satisfaction and talked with others.
In the Wang family yard.
Not long after the family left, Zhao Guifen started to mess around out of boredom.
She looked at the third daughter-in-law with displeasure: "Third daughter-in-law, go and boil some water for me. It's so cold, don't you know what to do?"
Zhao Cuihua, who was mending clothes, became unhappy when she heard this.
Didn’t Liu Xiao’e boil water for her just now?
The water in the pot is still hot. What does she want to do?
"Mom, isn't there hot water in the pot?" Zhao Cuihua asked her without moving.
"Boil it again. The water doesn't taste good to me. What? I can't control you anymore?" Zhao Guifen got angry when she looked at her.
"Let your second sister-in-law go. I'm still mending clothes for the child." Zhao Cuihua didn't even raise her head.
This clearly shows that he is looking for her.
Normally she has to go up the mountain with us, but today she doesn't have to go up the mountain, so she's causing trouble now.
On the side, the family was working without saying a word.
Seeing that she didn't move, Zhao Guifen was thinking about how to scold her, when the brigade's radio rang: "Can you hear it? Can you hear it? I am the brigade leader Chen Zhuangshi. After the autumn harvest, no one picked up the manure from the three villages in our team.
The land in the village has not yet been properly fertilized, which will be extremely detrimental to our harvest next year.
But I understand that everyone wants to go to the mountains.
I discussed it with the people from the Women's Federation. In the past two years, there have been people with bad reputations in our village, some who bullied their daughters-in-law, some who beat and scolded their mothers-in-law, and some who were harsh on their daughters. These people are now picking up manure and doing the cleaning work in the village.
Each person gets three work points a day.
Now I start reading the names. Those working today are: "Wang Shoucheng's wife Zhao Guifen, the old Wu family's daughter-in-law Zhang Sixi..."
The captain read out a list of people.
Zhao Guifen, who was thinking about how to torment her daughter-in-law, exploded when she heard her own name.
When Zhao Cuihua saw this, she felt so relieved and deliberately asked her, "Mom, the captain asked you to pick up dung. Do you still want to drink this water? Otherwise, I will go to the dung pile to bring you some water later. Tell me, have you had a stronger affinity with dung recently?
Last time you fell into someone else's dung pile, and this time you have to pick up dung again."
"Shut your stinky mouth. Who would think you're dumb if you don't speak?" Zhao Guifen gritted his teeth and limped around in the yard.
"Mom, my mouth definitely doesn't stink of shit. Stop beating around the bush and get to the team." Zhao Cuihua held back her laughter and continued to provoke.
Hearing this, the third brother Wang Qingliang, who was working, felt scared.
Is my wife crazy? What good can come from provoking my mother like this?
Don't turn around and let your mother make things difficult for you.
"Old man, you said this... My leg hasn't healed yet." Zhao Guifen felt very aggrieved. She looked at her old man, waiting for him to make the decision for her.
Seeing her like this, Wang Shoucheng got goosebumps all over his body. He frowned in disgust and said, "Look at how much trouble you have been making recently. Go quickly. Don't come back and let the captain yell at you again, and embarrass yourself again. I have advised you before not to curse at others if you have nothing to do.
I got a lot of criticism, but didn't get much benefit.
The whole village said you were mean.
What can we do now? "
Zhao Guifen didn't expect that her old man would not care: "Isn't it all for the family? The eldest brother married a dead woman who kept all the good things to herself and gave nothing to the family. Weren't you all watching when I was scolding people?
No one is stopping it."
"Mom, no one knows that we are going to pick up dung now. You'd better go quickly, otherwise it will be embarrassing." Wang Qingliang said awkwardly.
The main reason was that he was afraid that if he waited any longer, his wife would say something unpleasant.
Mom started fighting with Cuihua again.
Zhao Guifen felt extremely aggrieved, but she still hurried away.
No, when she gets to the brigade, she must make the eldest son's wife, that suicidal thing, testify for her that she did not bully her daughter-in-law.
When she arrived, the rest of the team had also arrived.
But like her, no one was happy.
Zhao Guifen immediately spotted Bai Xiuxiu standing next to Chen Jinhua, talking and laughing, and rushed over: "Big brother's wife, what's wrong with you? Don't you know I'm lame? You asked me to pick up the shit, do you have any heart?"
“What are you doing? The decision to have you pick up manure was made after a discussion between the Women’s Federation and the team leader in our village. This is so that you can realize your previous mistakes through labor.
Be kind to women.
You want to bully your daughter-in-law in front of me?
I think you want to keep picking up shit!"
Chen Jinhua protected Bai Xiuxiu behind her and pointed at Zhao Guifen and started scolding her.
"Mom, you should learn from your mistakes through hard work. Also, I've explained to everyone that your legs are not good, so you may work slower. Don't worry, no one will rush you. You only need to work three days to do what others do in one day."
Bai Xiuxiu looked at Zhao Guifen's angry look and kindly reminded her.
"you!"
"Okay, what are you doing? Zhao Guifen, you are already old, why do you always pick on your daughter-in-law? Come with me now, I will lead you to do the dung picking work in our team. Don't worry, we will give you the same work points.
It’s just that I won’t let you go to the mountains, so I can save you a little.”
The captain called the man over.
This group of people went to pick up dung in a mighty manner.
"Looking at the situation, it can be done in three or four days." Chen Jinhua was happy as she looked at the large group of people.
We can't be careless with the fertilizer in the field.
Bai Xiuxiu and the others had nothing to do the whole day.
By the evening, everyone was ready to leave.
Someone ran over and said, "Oh no! Something happened. Zhao Guifen and her son and daughter-in-law had a quarrel. I don't know who pushed the other, and all three of them fell into the dung pile."
The person who had gone to pick up the dung came over and gave the letter.
Bai Xiu Xiu, who was drinking water, almost choked.
"Xiu Xiu, go and take a look. I'll take the two children home for you." Chen Jinhua knew about the grudge between Bai Xiu Xiu and her mother-in-law, so she urged her to go and see the fun.
As soon as Bai Xiu Xiu walked out of the door, he saw Wang Qinghe was already waiting for him.
"Why don't you come in to see me?" Bai Xiu Xiu was a little surprised. She thought he couldn't come today.
"I just came from Uncle Zhang's place, and thought it was about time for you to come out, so I didn't go into the house to look for you." Wang Qinghe looked at the two children in Chen Jinhua's arms who came out with her, feeling a little confused.
"My mother, the fifth son, and his wife have all fallen into the dung pile. Let's go and take a look."
Bai Xiu Xiu couldn't suppress the smile.
Wang Qinghe was also shocked. Although he didn't like the hustle and bustle, since Xiuxiu wanted to watch, he might as well follow her.
"Auntie Jinhua, give me the children." Wang Qinghe held the two children in his arms.
By the time Bai Xiuxiu and the others arrived at the dung pile, the team leader had already organized people to pull them out.
Looking at these three people whose stench spread far and wide, the captain's face turned so dark that he couldn't bear to look at it.
